Beautiful!

Jinx, those are sooooo pretty!

Thank you so much, 51gerri and chloebud!

I’m doing new ones daily. Today I did a turquoise one for my SIL who loves western style decor, and a couple of others.

LOVE them! How very nice of you to make them for your family.

Thank you, Kim Mac!

Beautiful!

Thanks, Gargamel!

I did a few this afternoon. They’re so much fun. :)

I wanted to evoke thoughts of Old World, folksy, vintage with these first two. Wood beads, earthy colors. The first one reminds me of decor I saw in Europe when I was young.

This one is more folksy, I think ....

I love deep blue and gold together.

Beautiful! Lucky guests :)

These remind me of ornaments we made one year. Someone had given us a 1970’s era shell beads wall hanging thing. It was awful but we cut the shell beads apart and strung them on wire to create snowflakes. It was so much fun! When I get the tree ornaments out I’ll try to remember to post a picture!

These are beautiful!

Thank you, miss lindsey and PRM!

miss lindsey, what a creative idea (the shells) ... I’ll remind you to post a picture, I wanna see. :)

I love those! How creative and fun. The color combinations are endless and so interesting. Like making great jewelry. Beautiful and I think you could sell those! Love to see some pearl, crystal and whites together!

Thanks, Flo! I actually am working on exactly the combo you said (the colors are so wintery, I love them!), as well as black/pearl/crystal and brown/amber. You are so right about the color combos being endless — it keeps me up at night thinking of new designs. :D

ETA: Just noticed this one didn’t post up there, maybe I reached the photo limit. It was actually a mistake, so I won’t give it away. I’m thinking of making myself 4-5 and hanging them from the garland I’ll have on our mantel. The FP is all Austin stone, so I think they’d look nice there.

I did these 5 last night and now it’s time to make duplicates to give out (so I can keep some). :)

Thanks for looking and for the kind compliments! If anyone reading decides to do some of their own, I’d love to see. I’ll be taking a flake break — time to start cooking for tomorrow, then Christmas decorating this weekend.

A beachy ornament. :)

I ended up making so many snowflakes this year! I enjoy it so much. I sent them to friends and relatives out of state, gave away a few to local friends, gave one to a sweet neighbor.

I do wish I could figure out how to attach the metal forms together to do “double” snowflakes. Wiring them won’t work, and I’m not sure soldering would, either.

What they’d look like (I just set one on top of the other to see):

And some of the last singles I did ...

These are gorgeous. I host a Grand's Christmas party about a week before Christmas. I always have a craft or two for them to work on. I think they will enjoy making the beaded snowflakes. Thanks for the idea.

Happy, thank you so much!

I’m so sorry I’m just now seeing your comment, I didn’t get a notification. Just came by here because I started making mine for this year and wanted to see my old ones. Glad I did. :)

I hope your grands enjoy crafting them!
